Mixed emotions

Ive got 30 days till baby's due date. I go from being excited and ready to completely freaked out like the feeling of doom. It's all about the labor part not having a newborn. Like right now I feel scared. My first born(4 years ago) went very bad. Both baby and I almost lost our lives because of a epidural screw up. My second born 2 years ago went great. I'm having the same DR deliver this child. But i won't know who does the epidural. I'm achy and in pain and hve a lot of pressure down there. Braxon hicks every one in a while. I'm ready to be done. I know the rough stuff is yet to come. Just trying to keep myself calm and know I'm in good hands.

	Comment from CrystalB88 » Posted Jan. 7, 2016 12:27pm I'm right there with you about being freaked out when I think of going through labor again... the process was just so slow for me with my first and there's just nothing fun about it at all until it's time to push and you see that little face for the first time. Labor is very scary because it's so hard... but we can do it!
	Comment from lala_0412 » Posted Jan. 6, 2016 8:16am The thought of labor itself is just terrifying whether you've had good experiences or bad. I am having baby number 4 and nothing scares me more then labor. Even thinking about it I get super nervous. I have had all 3 of my kids natural with no meds so I know what pain to expect. I have decided even though this is number 4 I am going to stay home and labor as long as possible. I think a lot of it has to do with just being in the hospital. The minute I get there my teeth get chattery and my blood pressure goes up from anxiety.
	Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Jan. 5, 2016 8:40pm I had a very hard and dangerous first labor and delivery as well. Second time around was a bit more normal. I know how you feel. I have those feelings every other hour. I'm excited to meet my baby, but the process scares me so much. We will be alright, though. The second it's over, you'll feelso relieved.
